Soup-To-Nuts Podcast: Carbon labeling, promises to be carbon neutral, positive emerge as top trend Whether or not you believe in climate change or the food industry’s contribution to the greenhouse gasses wrapping the earth and changing weather patterns, plenty of consumers do, and they increasingly are buying products based on their environmental impact – elevating sustainability and carbon labeling from political talking points to business priorities.

Kellogg misses sales mark as it battles supply constraints for Frosted Flakes, MorningStar Farms Kellogg Co missed analysts sales forecast for its fourth quarter of 2020, during which it faced pandemic-related headwinds, including unexpected supply constraints of multiple marque brands and the continued slowdown of at-home purchases as some local economies reopen.
Analysts expecting sales of $3.51b during Kellogg’s fourth quarter earnings released yesterday were disappointed by the company’s net sales for the period peaking at $3.46b. While company executives touted this as a 2.5% increase in organic net sales from Q4 last year, analysts lamented it was below street estimates of 3.2%.
Kraft Heinz has ended 2020 on a high note reporting a 6.2% increase in organic net sales and a 27% lift in household penetration in Q4, driven by significant gains in Ketchup, Lunchables, and Ore-Ida.
At the beginning of 2020, Kraft Heinz embarked on its multi-year transformation supported by a new operating model and platform-based prioritization of its portfolio, which has been divided into four segments: fast fresh meals; taste elevation; easy meals made better; and easy indulgent desserts. Our retail market share has continuously improved over the course of the year. What is most encouraging is that these trends are broad-based, with more than 70% of our categories experiencing positive trend bends in Q4 led by Heinz Ketchup and Lunchables, each picking up more than 2 points of share in the quarter, said Carlos Abrams-Rivers, Kraft Heinz US zone president, during a Q4 2020 management discussion call.

Suppliers pay for storefronts on the site (via an annual subscription) and get access to digital marketing and e-commerce analytics capabilities, along with analytics to track key performance indicators, including the number of marketing qualified leads (MQLs) and sales qualified leads (SQLs) generated by the storefronts, Knowde co-founder and CEO Ali Amin-Javaheri told FoodNavigator-USA.
“What we’ve seen with our other verticals is that suppliers initially use Knowde for lead generation purposes, and as they get more comfortable, they turn on the transaction side of the platform,” said Amin-Javaheri, who co-founded Knowde in 2017 and has raised $20m to date from backers including Sequoia Capital.
